Verse 1
A Dsus2 A
Well, I worked all summer, couldn't save a cent,
Dsus2 A
I gave all my money to the government,
Dsus2 A
I don't know quite how it got spent,
Dsus2 A
But the banks a-comin' for my deed,
E A
Man at the mill can't see, boys,
Dsus2 A
Let me get my feed for free, boys,
E A A Dsus2 A A A Dsus2 A A A Dsus2 A*
Ain't that the way it is.
Verse 2
A Dsus2 A
Well, I cut out down a braver road,
Dsus2 A
I traded my stock for a V8 Ford,
Dsus2 A
Danced for town down on the floor boards,
Dsus2 A
And the title owed down to me,
E A
That gasoline ain't free, boys,
Dsus2 A
Just guzzling out my knee bone?
E7 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A*
Ain't that the way it is.

Verse 3
A Dsus2 A
Well, I met me a woman down in Saint Paul,
Dsus2 A
I even met her mother and I met her pal,
Dsus2 A
The brother told me that he'd bust my jaw,
Dsus2 A
I talked to his sister again,
E A
Told me I couldn't win though,
Dsus2 A
There's blood running down my chin now,
E7 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A*
Ain't that the way it is.
Verse 4
A Dsus2 A
Well, I slept all night on the barroom floor,
Dsus2 A
And woke up this morning, my head was sore,
Dsus2 A
Pockets empty, but I want some more,
Dsus2 A
Now, the bar man's got my car,
E A
Tales worth more by far, boys,
Dsus2 A
As I leave her down at the bar now,
E7 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A*
Ain't that the way it is.

Verse 5
A Dsus2 A
Well, I hitched me a ride on the way back home,
Dsus2 A
I got me a job on a family farm,
Dsus2 A
Times are hard here, but I can't roll,
Dsus2 A
And I ain't got nothing more,
E A
And I owe that company store, boys,
Dsus2 A
Gold's looking good for sure, boys,
E7 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A A Dsus2 A*
Ain't that the way it is.
